There have been a days and nights; sharp mornings and crisp evenings have not lacking; but the cold has not been severe and there has been a re markable absence of snow and rain, bright skies bending upon us almost every day. It now too late in the season to expect long continued cold though there may be cold days yet- The spring may be, indeed, is likely to be, late and cold, as cold goes in the time, but the danger of a winter has practically passed. This means that there has been a saving in expense in the purchasing of in the consumption of fuel, in horse- feed and in many directions.

The Suites Congress at Washington presents a spectacle not very promising for financial relief. The House passes a bill to issue It is sent to the Senate.

Nobody expects that Spain will agree, but if she doesn't it is altogether probable that the United States will, unless there is a change in the situation.

Watch out Harry Skinner He went to North Carolina last night. As he puffed out of the station, he had wicked in his smoke-stack, no body in his pilot house, and no cow- catcher on. He'll gather speed as he goes, and if somebody put a log on his track he'll smash himself up or somebody else up. One could hear the of hot thoughts in his boiler, and his safety-valve and air-brake were all gone to the bow-wows. He'll be a hard man to run against. Let somebody mention Butler and he'll blow a breath-full of tacks in his face. Yesterday morning Senator Prichard and Mohawk Harry sat in close confer- in the House before it was called to order. Pritchard had at last caught on to the capers of Butler and Mott, and later prove the of the statements in my letter last Saturday that Mott went away leaving rain-barrel behind him as a memory only. But about Harry first he had a wounded vanity to nurse he bad made a talk at the silver conference last week it was in the afternoon, and was pronounced a spinner it made such a hit that the gathered about him and put him on the pro- gramme for a long speech at night. Night came, but no speech. Butler had grown jealous hail had I stricken from the list That's What first made Harry mad. Then he began looking about and found that Butler had elevated Mott to the Chairmanship of the Silver to lie resident here in the spring. This made him madder. But to be briefer, a running will better serve the story. Mott had grown suddenly very excited on silver, and had practically, accord- to my letter printed Sunday, cut loose from the Republican party. Any way, that was the way it WM to go to the Populists. But it does not take shrewd guessing to say that Mott is the same Republican of old in silver guise, and that Butler will attempt to deliver the Populist party over to his silver Republican camp, while Mott is pro- fessing to deliver the party over to the Butler silver camp. And it is all done to unseat Pritchard in favor of Mott and Pritchard knows it, and he, also, Butler are on account of this. The i that Pritchard has not come forward with his silver views fast enough for Butler, and on this will rest Butler's pretext for deserting him now in favor of Mott. And just here steps in Mr. Harry Skinner to remark that Butler has made the worst break of his life, and stung by the memory of a speech suppressed, he vows that Populists c his class will never follow any faction under the management of Mott. whose very name is politically repulsive to ; large part even of the Populists win left the Democratic party, and who will now return to the Democratic party rather than follow in his lead. Skin- went so far as to say that Butler might have suggested the name of a man like Jarvis for the position to be held by Mott, but this, of course, is ridiculous, especially in the light of a wise remark made to me last night by a Democratic Congressman from North Carolina namely, that the should play fighting shy of the detestable and disgraceful broils of the unholy alliance. In this new scheme are said to be included Russell, Logo Harris, Jim Young is if they get Loge to stick. Harry Skinner was more Democratic than Populist in his thoughts when he left here last night, and the breach between him and the Wind-bag of Wayne is distinct and deep. Now as to the other side. The thoughts of Skinner have been the thoughts of others even before the an- of the deal.

Mayor Makes a Good the business men of Greenville have been requested to express their views as to the best of advancing the interests the town, it is my opinion that it would be well for the business men of the town, and especially those who have energy, push to meet the Board of Town at their meeting on Wednesday evening, February 5th, express their ideas as to what can lie accomplished. So I take the of asking such as are mentioned above to be present at this meeting- The Board would especially like to have some advice as to water works, and as the Board is composed of only six men feel a delicacy in taking the whole responsibility upon them- selves. They wish to do something and something must be done. The people of Greenville are too slow to act upon matters this kind, but like some of our sister towns, seem disposed to sit still and take no action as to the town's greatest needs. We will wait until the town is in ashes and our property destroyed, then will be all in a fume for water works It will be too late then, and our error will be parent. Let all who have a warm spot in their hearts for the welfare of Green- ville and who feel an interest in the prosperity of the town, be pres- at this meeting as requested, and advance such suggestions as they think will best accomplish the desired results. Mayor. BOARD OF TRADE NEEDED. Much Could Be Accomplished By One. Reflector occurs to me that the most necessary step to be taken in order to increase the mate- rial of the town, during this is the organization of a Board of Trade for the town. To do this it will much time or to do anything else that will invite amounting to anything this must be done first, for not many projects of business nature have ever succeeded yet where there was not some system by which to work. The most thoroughly systematized organizations to-day in the world are those that are making the most rapid progress, and where system is neglected or overlooked in the rapid march of progress, ruin and failure is the universal result, hence repeat, if we would place our town and its advantages before those seeking new homes, in order to do so successfully we should have some our business men who are inter- in this matter manifest an interest in ii and see that a our inducements is made A Board of Trade organized and constituted would, ill my opinion, at this lime do more toward advancing and promoting the internal development of the town than any other one agent. It is true there are other things that the town needs, but it seems to me that we need a Hoard of Trade first, and then the board will help to get things that we need, are business men enough in the town who ought to be interested in this matter to take it right up and push it on until we get one.

By the close of this season the Greenville tobacco market will have sold nearly twice as much tobacco as it ever has in any one year before, and as much as any other eastern market. Next year we expect to lead. While in Danville and Lynchburg a few weeks ago I met with several exporters who were very much inter- in Greenville. I was asked the question by some them what induce- would be offered them to come to Greenville and locate a here. These people mean business. They expect to come to eastern North Carolina, and say they prefer any of the other eastern mar- but they want to see if the of Greenville desire them as much as some other places. These work quite a number of hands and all of their money would be spent among the merchants here. Before the beginning of the next tobacco year I expect some of you will have mi opportunity to show whether you want them or not. From in every section of the eastern country I have inquired diligently as to the probable acreage that will be planted in tobacco this year. From the information gained from this source am led to the con- that in Pitt county there will be no increase at all in the acreage over last year. In most sections of the county there will be a decrease I have found a strong disposition on the part of the large planters to curtail the crop considerably this year, while the smaller planters, from to acres, will plant about the same as last year. From Greene county the reports are conflicting, some contend there will lie a heavy increase while the more conservative claim that the acre- age will on the whole be about the same as last year. Lenoir county will increase largely, so will Craven, but when it is considered that Pitt plants nearly, if not quite, as much as all of these it will be clearly seen that on t our principal bright to- producing eastern counties, will not increase the tobacco acreage this TO ALL FREE MASONS.

Friday night the horses to Hotel Macon omnibus ran away at the depot, T. J. Jarvis, who was re- turning home, had just assisted Jar- vis into the vehicle and was about to gut up himself when the horses jumped off in a run. In trying to get Mrs. Jarvis out the Governor was thrown from the omnibus, falling on his back and left side, but fortunately no were or serious injury dune. He received a on the left leg and on the back and left hip. These were very painful during the night but he is resting more comfortably to-day, and hopes to be out in a day or two. Mrs. Jarvis was not thrown from the omnibus and was not hurt. The difficulty occurred from the fact that the left the omnibus, with no one to care for the horses, and when the other vehicles started the horses to the omnibus finding they were unrestrained started off at full tilt after them. There is generally much carelessness among the drivers, and the way horses are left standing around the depot with no one to attend to them it is a wonder more accidents of this kind do not FALLS SPEECHLESS.

The benefits of massage are so well known that it is needless to re- count them, and no ill person should be denied tho invigorating effects of laying on of Many persons are kept from the curative effects of massage by the thought of expense, skilled masseuses high wages. To enable the home attendant or friend in some to take her place is the aim of this article. The skilled masseuse must know the body, with the location of nerves and muscles, that he or she may he able to give such as need it special treatment. Massage supplies to the the exercise they are unable to obtain otherwise and includes a series of movements of limbs, fingers and toes, as well as tho strokes of the masseuse's hands. Those, some- what violent, should not tried without the the and no direction for their use is in- in this article. Tho strokes given in massage are for restfulness or for the purpose of rousing blood and other or- to action and may be light or hard, the same variety of stroke be- varied to suit the patient No rule can he given for this, as is something given only by and experience. Massage must never be to weary, and the should have a hand firm, but soft, flexible, sensitive and strong. Even an may have this kind of hand, and practice, will make it fall of healing to the sick. The masseuse must stand or sit In a position comfortable for herself, or otherwise she will be unable to give comfort. It is the rule to rub the limbs toward the body. Beginning at tip of fingers, rub with steady stroke toward the shoulder, varying tho according to tho wish of the patient, and covering the whole arm. Starting with the toes, rub toward the thighs. The rubbing of the abdomen is in a course. On the back it follows the course of the and must have some force to it. With all tho motions, in a general treatment tho arms are taken first, then logs, chest, abdomen, back from one end to the other of the Rubbing with the flat hand is the ordinary method known to every one. is also rubbing with the tips of the fingers, which is very soothing when done lightly and of- ten induces sloop when practiced on tho head and wrists. An invigorating motion is given by resting the base of the hand on arm or body, placing tips of fingers firmly on tho skin and drawing to- ward the base of hand, working in this manner from wrist to shoulder and from foot to thigh. The hand is never flat when doing this, but bent to give to the notion of the fingers. It will found that the motion of kneading tho which is most precisely that of kneading bread, will give both stimulus and a restful sensation to tho invalid. On the limbs this is taken from side to side, not up and down, as tho former, but like it in it starts at the wrists and ankles, working upward. Last of all, and often omitted save in cases of sluggish circulation, comes percussion, which is slapping tho entire body from hand to from foot the head be- omitted. This may he done with the entire hand flat, or with it bent so only the fingers, thumb and of hand touch tho and must done carefully, as even gen- blows on tender surfaces are of- ten not beneficial. will make those hints plain and enable any one with a sound body and nature to aid in curing tho or in sufferings more easily and are many women and children who will take massage from those they love who will not take it from a more skilled masseuse who is a stranger. Those notes are written to those who long to help others, and who know nothing of massage save rubbing, which soon wearies both persons concerned. By these four motions a be- can give an hour's massage without becoming greatly fatigued, and their benefit is marked to the York Ledger. AT PARTING. A Veteran's Opinion. you advance in your said Gounod ton young poet, will come to think of tho great of the pastas I now appreciate tho groat musicians of former times. When I was your ago, I used to say at I said and at and now I say sleep I'm not a scientist, I don't be- any particular was made for sleep. Man at first slept at night he had no artificial light by which to work. Of course the habit of the race for centuries counts for something, but I don't know any habit that is more easily overcome than that of sleeping nights and working days. It is just as easy to follow the opposite course. Night workers, as a class, are healthy and long lived. When the night worker through his stint, there is no one for him to play with. The other half of the world is about to take its shift at the treadmill.- Therefore ha goes to bed instead of dissipating or recreating, generally amounts to the thing. night workers get more and More regular than the day force. In general, I think that mankind sleeps too much. There it a great deal in the theory of Check- Icy, the latest authority on hygiene, that the man who wants to long and happily must shake off the bondage implied in having regular for sleeping and Eat when yon arc hungry is tho best and sloop when yon provided your employment will Every in civilization has been by discovering some way to contravene a so untied law of nature.-Buffalo Ho, with a last In this gray hoar yon die To as we to yon; Parting la dying, too. distance, heart to heart despairing la a for death.
